The best there is

This is the best hook out there for anything that requires a big gap. Its primarily marketed as a bass bug hook but dont stop there. Its become my favorite front hook for massive articulated streamers for carnivorous trout. I almost never use my old TMC 9395 anymore.

The best for bass bugs and streamers

These are the best hooks I've found for tying large streamers and bass bugs. Of the brands I've tied with Gamakatsu are the sharpest hooks out of the bag and the gap is perfect both for adding bulk and for hook-up type patterns like Clouser minnows and crayfish. These are the only hooks I will go out of my way to find. They make a nice short stinger for the back end of articulated streamers too. I use the 2/0 for smaller musky flies and they give a good hook set.
